Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

Never look at BBC news website but as Swiney was giving a big speech on independence today thought I'd just see if it was mentioned..nope just lots of the usual derogatory stuff..and if you scroll down far enough there's a picture of F just to keep him in your mind #FFS

Independence is about giving Scotland a fresh start - and a chance to build an economy that works for us.

A future where all decisions are made by people who live here.

I’m in the stunning National Portrait Gallery this morning, where I will set out more at 9am.

America is on the brink of martial law.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Independence puts Scotland’s vast energy resources - and our future - back in Scotland’s hands.

Lower bills, a fairer society and a fresh start away from the Westminster chaos.
